Newcastle (H) Monday Jan 1st

[Buzzo]

Liverpool's 18 shots is their most in the first half of a Premier League game since April 2016 v Everton. They led that one 2-0 at the break.

Only once on record (since 2003-04) have they had more in the opening 45 minutes of a game in the competition without scoring (20 v Leicester in December 2015).

We still need to choose our shots better

Still don't create a lot of clear chances. Lot of those 18 are speculative hits from outside box.

[Kenneth]

His “commentary” is bordering on scandalous and is getting his desired effect to Liverpool fans ****ing nuts

I have Finnish commentary on my stream so I understand about one word in ten. It’s great, although I did just have to sit through a ten minute tribute to Termu Pukki.

We did have at least one clear cut chance.. and we smacked it at the keeper.

[Clapper]

Thought Diaz was our best forward, first half. He created chances.

Agree

One! Exactly. Need to be more clever.

Salah has missed four of his last nine penalties? Wow!!! Why is Salah never held accountable for his performances but everyone else is?

[Kenneth]

The rain can’t be helping our attacking, I’ll give them a little bit of leeway for that.

[BG1973]

It's really not, though. Even Salah is now on 6 scored pens out of his last 10. The rest of it was perfectly in our style.


2nd half Diaz, Nunez and Szobo off please. The first two probably sold asap. I'm really done with Nunez.


We'll probably just sub off Jones instead.

Diaz is fine. Won a pen and took a good chance that was ruled out for offside. That's his third this season, very unlucky


Think you've got some confirmation bias there.

Salah has been poor again.

He’s been ropey last few weeks. But he was top for goal involvements (assists and goals) across the whole of Europe in 2023, so probably has some credit.

Be interesting to see what happens if we get another pen.

Salah And great play by Diaz.

[Exiled_red]

That's 1-0 Salah

[Norbs]

Now that was class. What Nunsz should be doing all the time
